If one was to buy a boat with the intention of entering the Fastnet next year, with a view to getting a reasonable result in a class, what would it be? Qualifying races will also need to be completed.
Something light and quick, with basic accommodation? Or heavy, more sea kindly, and comfortable for staying aboard? What other criteria should be taken into account?
Assume a budget of £100k for purchase and race preparation, so some compromises required.
I thought the next Fastnet was 2017 not next year but I always get these things wrong!
There is definitely a Solo Fastnet next July for which a Sunfast 3200 wold be perfect. Is that the one you are aiming at?
edit: whoops! Must look at dates before I post.
